I have 3 WET54G's and the setup software would not even recognize the bridge. I called technical support and we were able to get the Web setup using the IP address although I could not log in. What I found out (on my bridges at least) is that the username is "admin" and when I use that I was able to get in and configure using the Web Browser setup screen.

I was able to connect after setting up using the Web Browser although my bridge would be intermittent in connecting and on the status screen it would indicate scanning for channel. I changed my AP from auto to channel 11 and am using WPA AES security and it connects.

As a side note, I have not had success connecting with TKIP. It connects and drops out as does my print servers as well. AES is a stronger incription and my other devices support AES so that is fine with me.

I have the WET54G connected to a WRE54G then that is connected to the WRT54GS.

Sometimes the WET54G would stop connecting to the WRE54G. I don't know why. I would have to type in the IP addy of the WET into my browser, and just hit the "apply" button and the WET would reset itself and I would then get internet access.

I don't know why it drops the connection. Sometimes it would drop the connection twice in one hour, sometimes not for a 24 hour period.

having the same problem. using WEP with directional antennae for a long-distance bridge. before it drops / disconnects, signal strength is up at 90%. After disconnect it seems like the whole WEP radio is thrown off, needs to be rebooted. (the site survey results only shows the target AP at 25% signal, I think those refer to different things). Locked on a fixed channel (11). Let me know if anybody has any ideas to this issue...

I was having similar issues. I have since found that the site survey signal figure is a signal to noise ratio, so even though you may be getting a high "link quality" according to the status section of the web interface to the WET54G, the site survey section of the interface is telling you (under the "signal strength %" column) that either the signal is too weak or the noise is too high (or some combination) such that your overall signal is very weak.

I also had this problem. I found a suggestion in another thread to reduce the transmission rate. Using the web interface under the Advanced section, I lowered the "transmission rate" down one step at a time. I finally found a rate that seems to make the bridge happy and the problem has gone away.
